[QUOTE="michael, post: 208510, member: 1208"] That was only when going down south State St. to get to one of the rail yards, the one on 63rd St. (the Con Rail at the time) If a person jumped up between the tractor and the trailer and pulled off the correct air line, your brakes would lock and you would not be able to move. At that point the rest of the group would cut the seals on the trailer door and go "shopping". We would even wrap thick wire cables at the very top of the trailer doors to prevent that (remember the top of the trailer is 13' 6" from ground level), unfortunately they got wise to that and brought their own ladders to reach the top and cut the cable. Another thing to keep in mind is that all of this happened around one o'clock in the morning. At one point there was a police car parked at the corner of 59th (I'll stand corrected if it was 51st , it's been a while.) and State, just to make sure this didn't happen. It's a very unique atmosphere in that area... [/QUOTE]
